Flight Runs into Danger (Second Update)

"Xian'er, come on. Let Xiao Lan take us flying for a while."

Su Yun lifted Xiao Yi Xian high, sprang into motion, and landed on Xiao Lan's broad eagle back.

He did not put Xiao Yi Xian down. Su Yun sat steadily on the eagle's back.

He held Xiao Yi Xian in his arms, his palm pressed against her slender waist. It felt wonderful, carrying a warm, soft sensation as it brushed against her.

A faint blush flashed across Xiao Yi Xian's cheeks. Su Yun's large hand was resting at her waist, and the searing warmth of the youth's body came from behind her.

Xiao Yi Xian reached out, pulled Su Yun's hands up, and placed them over her lower abdomen. Her delicate little hands overlapped on top of them just like that, and her body leaned back slightly against Su Yun's firm frame.

Su Yun felt Xiao Yi Xian's movements. His arms tightened slightly, and his head tilted down a little, gently pressing beside the girl's ear.

"Are you sitting steady?"

The girl's face reddened slightly, and she nodded.

"Xiao Lan."

Xiao Lan spread its wide wings and soared into the sky. In just a short while, they had reached high altitude.

Xiao Lan did not fly very fast. It seemed to understand as well that the two masters on its back were not trying to travel anywhere.

A faint breeze stirred Xiao Yi Xian's black hair, brushing against Su Yun's face like a young girl gently caressing her lover's cheek.

Xiao Yi Xian could not help spreading her arms and closing her eyes, feeling the breath of the wind.

Xiao Lan flew quite far, unlike before, when it had only stayed near the area above the house.

Clearly, after undergoing its transformation, it also wanted to experience scenery different from before.

However, Su Yun did not mind. With him here today, even if they ran into a Fourth-Tier Flying Magical Beast, they could still retreat in one piece.

The flying speed of the Purple Cloud Wings was extremely terrifying. Back when he was in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, he had used them quite a few times.

If he ignored Dou Qi consumption and operated them at full power, he could unleash speed comparable to that of a Fifth-Tier Magical Beast, the Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagle, for a short period.

Xiao Lan flew for a while longer. The direction it flew in was toward the Magical Beast Mountain Range, but it did not fly into the interior of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, instead circling around the outer area.

The interior was still too dangerous. If they encountered a flock of Flying Magical Beasts, it would still be somewhat troublesome.

Just as they were enjoying the beauty of the blue sky, an arrow entered Su Yun's perception.

At the same time, Xiao Lan also discovered it. It slightly changed its flight direction, and the arrow grazed past less than a foot from its eagle body.

"Ah!"

Xiao Yi Xian cried out in alarm, seeing this dangerous scene.

Su Yun's brows furrowed into a deep frown, and a trace of coldness flashed through his heart.

They had probably taken Xiao Lan for a wild Magical Beast and wanted to hunt it.

Su Yun stood up, placed Xiao Yi Xian on the eagle's back, and had her grip Xiao Lan's feathers tightly. After making sure she was safe, he leaned down from the eagle's back and looked below.

His Soul Power was powerful, and even his eyesight had been strengthened along with it.

Although he could not clearly see the archer's exact appearance, he could still make out the general features of his build.

Su Yun focused his gaze. It was a tall, burly man wearing a black eyepatch, a one-eyed man.

Generally speaking, if family factions came to this Magical Beast Mountain Range, they would all move in groups.

Those who were alone were usually mercenaries who believed themselves strong.

Xiao Lan was already flying very high, yet this person could actually shoot with such precision. Clearly, his archery was superb.

One-eyed, superb archery, perhaps even cultivated an archery-type Dou Technique, and a mercenary whose strength was not bad.

These traits were already enough.

The corners of Su Yun's mouth curled into a cold smile.

This was already the outer region of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. If he used the Purple Cloud Wings now and went to make trouble for that man...

If he scared him and the man directly ducked into a nearby cave or forest...

With how complex the terrain of the Magical Beast Mountain Range was, it would be no different from searching for a needle in the ocean.

Moreover, this person's archery was superb. If Su Yun left and he shot Xiao Lan, Xiao Yi Xian would be in danger.

He could only settle accounts later.

At times like this, the advantages of having influence became clear.

If he searched this area alone, who knew how much time it would take?

But mobilizing the forces in Wutan City was completely different.

After something like this happened, neither Su Yun nor Xiao Yi Xian had any desire to continue staying. They had Xiao Lan turn around and directly went back.

On the ground, the man holding a bow and arrows did not look very good.

Damn it! It actually wasn't a wild Magical Beast.

He felt somewhat uneasy.

When Su Yun had shown himself just now, he had seen it too. Although he had not been able to make out the face, he was still clear that it was a human standing on that Blue Eagle.

The man touched the bow and arrows in his hand. The abundant Dou Qi in his body gave him a little sense of safety.

He was a mercenary active around Wutan City. Because he had accidentally obtained a Mysterious Tier Low Grade archery Dou Technique, along with his strength as a Dou Shi, he was quite well-known in this area.

The man ran into a nearby forest, raised his head, and stared tightly at the Blue Eagle in the sky.

If this Blue Eagle attacked him to settle the score, he would immediately draw his bow and shoot again, seeking to shoot the Blue Eagle down. It would be best if the person on the eagle's back fell to his death directly.

Since he had already offended them, he might as well go all the way!

A vicious look filled the man's eyes.

However, things did not develop as the man expected.

The man watched the Blue Eagle fly into the distance, and a bit of unease rose in his heart.

Afterward, he began comforting himself again.

He had been making a living in this area for so many years, and he had never heard of anyone taming a Blue Eagle.

It should just be an outsider passing through.

Thinking this, the man let out a breath in relief.

Even a mighty dragon could not crush a local snake. Since they were not people from Wutan City, it would not be easy for them to find him.

Elsewhere, Su Yun and Xiao Yi Xian returned home.

"That was so dangerous just now."

There was a lingering fear on Xiao Yi Xian's face. No wonder her brother would not let her and Xiao Lan fly to other places.

The outside was too dangerous. Her brother's arms were still the safest.

Xiao Yi Xian threw herself into Su Yun's arms again.

Su Yun instinctively wrapped his arms around Xiao Yi Xian, stroked her little head, then patted her back.

He only thought Xiao Yi Xian was still afraid of what had just happened.

"It's all right now, Xian'er. Don't be afraid. Big brother will protect you properly."

Xiao Yi Xian's slender, boneless little hands hugged Su Yun's waist. Her little head tilted sideways, pressing against Su Yun's chest.

Su Yun comforted Xiao Yi Xian for a while longer before she finally let go and returned to her room.

Su Yun changed into Han Li's appearance, instructed Xiao Yi Xian to be careful at home, and then hurried to the Xiao Family.

For a gentleman to take revenge, ten years was not too late; for a petty man to take revenge, it was from dawn till dusk!

Su Yun's thoughts spun rapidly.

This matter could not be made public. If he made a big fuss in Wutan City and put out a warrant for this person...

If the man heard the news and ran off to another city, that would be troublesome.

Mercenaries were people who licked blood from the edge of a blade, unlike all those families, large and small.

They had assets in the local area, and unless they absolutely had no choice, they would not abandon the territory they had painstakingly built up and leave.

But mercenaries were all alone, without ties. If they wanted to leave, they left.

It would be best to catch him before he reacted.
